OT: Schiano Now The DC at Ohio State

[manxman2601]

A perfect storm for a Patriots feeder team?

 

[Kontradiction]

BB should tell him to throw a shoulder into Zeke Elliott's knee so he can fall into the Pats laps in the draft.

 

[luuked]

At the very least this should give us some better insight into day 3 choices.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Well, now we all know how to win the annual draft contest.

 

[Saint Pat]

Greg Schiano was sitting next to Herm Edwards when this happened.

All the way to pick 64....

As a Penn State alum, i hate this, but as a Pats fan i think this could give us a great pipeline Pats a-la Rutgers....but with a better pool of talent to pick from.

Also, somewhat off base, but do the conditions of our "timeout" from the first round in 2016 prohibit us from trading into the 1st round on draft day?

 

[VectorPrime]

Yeah because the Urban Myer Flordia pipeline ended up working sooo well for us.

No but it would be fairly pointless. wherever we trade up too in the first round, we lose the higher pick between our original pick or the one we traded up to. It makes more sense to trade up into the high second round than into the first. Would require less draft capital and there'd be no great drop off in quality.

People were saying that about the Schiano pipeline last year too. The murderer and Spikes were good for a while, if we go back to that source, hopefully we won't draft a murderer this time around (I think the odds on that are pretty good).

Especially since the original pick will just be #32 anyway

Spikes and murderer were good players for us. Murderer could've been hof material.

 

[Ross12]

I still think it would be damn funny if Bill traded for the top pick in the second round, which would end up being #32 overall.

 

[meatface]

I'm kinda surprised he didn't go back to Rutgers, I wonder how long he will stay at Ohio state

If N.England is supposed to select at #29 this spring due to where they end up, they'd be wise to try and trade with a team who was in the mid-later 20s, so they wouldn't lose too much value, since even if they trade for #22 they'd still end up at #29.

The big issue in this hypothetical scenario is the fact that we really only have 2 players on the team who would fetch first round compensation, and no one wants to see those players let go. Anyone else that we can think of like Edelman, McCourty, Jones, etc is going to bring in a 2nd--not a first. Those first round trades/players are a lot rarer than people wish to think. There's usually only a couple/few on each team.

I've always found it a bit odd that we don't usually draft Buckeye players, as Nate Ebner is the only one I can even think of in awhile.

It's a shame that we don't have a first round pick this year, because I truly believe that Zeke Elliot is the most pro ready RB we've seen in awhile. Gurly may be quicker, but Elliot is superior in pass protection and all around blocking. He may beat Gurley in pass catching ability, as well.

 

[DarrylS]

He might be a source for players coming out of the big ten, not only Ohio State..

Elliot is going to be long gone by the time we would even be slated to pick in the first round anyway. But yeah, the kid is a stud. Why Ohio State has had games this season where they went away from him was beyond me. After Devin Smith declared last year and left, Elliot was the most dangerous weapon they had. Meyer going away from him helped cost them the Michigan State game.
